I’ve read the post and all the comments to date. I agree with the sentiments that it’s unjust to put a freeze on pensions; also that those who try to illegally circumnavigate the law should be tracked down. But, what I don’t understand is what UK border control is doing. Surely, if someone leaves UK and doesn’t return for 6 months, they've either moved abroad or are dead. Why put the onus on banks to do the government’s job?

Sorry, I should have said thank you for your interest. I’ve tried to précis down the many hospital appointments, over about 6 months, with doctors of various specialisations. David

Unfortunately I’ve been involved with a chain of doctors - at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University. At the pain clinic the doctor suggested I must have suffered an infection of some sort, but she doubted it was dengue.

I’m 78, living in Loei Province, and had dengue last year. This year I developed fibromyalgia, dysphagia, and pulmonary fibrosis. The first causes generalised pain and immobility throughout the body, the second difficulty in swallowing, and the third scarring in lung tissue. I’ve become convinced that this year’s events have come about as a result of last year’s dengue. I’ve carried out some research and discovered there is a condition known as Post-Dengue Syndrome (PDS). It seems that symptoms are widely variable and that little scientific or medical research has been carried out into it. I can find nothing to indicate that any of the major medical institutions in USA or Europe have studied it. There are no Facebook groups dedicated to it and few related specifically to dengue itself. I would be interested to hear from anyone who’s had dengue (confirmed by a blood test), particularly those who have experienced new symptoms in the months following on from it. I would also love to hear from doctors and pharmacists to provide specialist advice. Maybe if there are enough of us we can start looking into Post-Dengue Syndrome a bit more thoroughly, and possibly persuade Big Pharma to take an interest.

That’s really useful, so thank you. I live in Loei and I’ve been attending the pain clinic at Srinagarind SMC for about 3 months. I’ve had trigger point injections of lidocaine directly into the nerves. All these seemed to do was to move the pain to an adjacent nerve ending. Having started with very localised pain, it’s now spread over a 3 inch line. I also had alcohol injections into the nerve where it branches out from the spine - between the ribs. This gave limited relief for about an hour. My next appointment at the clinic is on 11th July and the doctor is planning to carry out some sort of procedure on the spinal cord (sorry, the language barrier prevents me being any more specific). I'd never heard of nerve ablation until you mentioned it. I’ll suggest this to the doctor. I’ve asked about an operation but she seems loath to follow this route. Personally, having followed an a.c.n.e.s group on Facebook for a while, I think the operation is the procedure which offers the best chance of success. Btw, I also suffer with fibromyalgia. I’d like to do more exercise to help this condition, but it triggers the nerve pain which makes it difficult. I’ll be really interested to hear any follow up information you have as you sound really knowledgeable. Thank you again. David

Has anyone else suffered with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome? I’m currently receiving treatment at Srinagarind Hospital in Khon Kaen but, after 4 months, I’m still in considerable pain. Does anyone know of a hospital which specialises in this condition?
